Hanwell Town's Saturday struggles continue as they fell to a 3-0 defeat away from home against Dorchester Town in the Southern League Premier South.
The Geordies were level at the break in an even encounter in which both sides had the chances to take the lead.
Dorchester pulled away in the second half through a goal from Jordan Ngalo, and a brace for Charlie Gunson, and both sides ended the game a player light as Adam Lareef and Matt Neale both saw red.
Hanwell have now lost on three consecutive Saturdays having won in mid-week and their lack of consistency sees them in 12th place in the table.
Calum Duffy robbed Dorchester in midfield and slipped Kain Adom away down the right, he beat a man and then looked to shoot, but his effort flew across the face of goal.
The Magpies had the ball in the back of Hanwell's net after 21 minutes after the Geordies failed to properly clear Gunson's free-kick from out wide, and eventually Ngalo sent Shaquille Gwengwe through and he diverted the ball home, but he had been in an offside position.
Flo Bojaj caused trouble out wide for the Geordies as he created space to clip a ball into the middle and found Tom McElroy, and his header dropped just over the bar.
Nine minutes into the second period a nice sustained attack saw the ball floated out to Neale on the right in space, he cut the ball back to the onrushing Ngalo and he stroked the ball beyond Ryan Hall with a first-time finish.
Three minutes later the Magpies doubled their lead as once again Gunson had a free-kick wide on the left, his low whipped cross went beyond everyone in the middle and went into the far corner of the net.
It went from bad to worse for the Geordies after 70 minutes when Lareef was given a second yellow card for a seemingly innocuous challenge on Alex Moyse midway inside the Hanwell half.
Seven minutes from time the hosts had their third, once again from a set piece as Gunson, this time from a central location, curled a low shot into the bottom corner of the goalkeeper's side.
The teams were levelled up in the dying embers as Ngalo slipped Neale in behind on the counter, but his pass had too much weight on it, allowing Ryan Hall to get their first, in his desperation to get on the end of it, Neale slid in and brought down the Hanwell 'keeper and saw red for his troubles.
